Description
The Derby Arms Public House is a Grade II* listed building located at No 14 St Mary's Square. It features an 18th-century front that is part of an older structure. The building stands three stories tall and is constructed from vitreous brick, accented with red brick quoins and dressings. The tall facade has outer corners of a second-floor screen wall only, and is topped with a bold moulded brick cornice and parapet. The roof is covered with old tiles.
The upper part of the building has five windows, with the outer pair on the second floor being panels. Each window is adorned with moulded brick cills on aprons that have brackets ending in small guttae. The central window features a gauged brick head shaped on the soffit. All windows are framed with architrave and have deep heads made of fine gauged brickwork. The ground floor windows have segmental heads.
At the center of the ground floor, there is a six-panel door surrounded by an architrave, set within a doorcase that has fluted Ionic pilasters, an entablature with a curved frieze, a modillioned cornice, and a pediment. To the left, there is an archway leading to a yard that predates the main building.
The Derby Arms is part of a group of listed buildings in St Mary's Square, which includes No 1 St Mary's Row and No 6 Pebble Lane.
